Tourist attraction in Thailand: ‘Doi Inthanon’

Doi Inthanon National Park, the sixth national park in Thailand, was announced as national park in 1972 (B.E. 2515). It occupied 482.4 km2 covering A. Chom Thong, A. Mae Cham, A. Mae Wang, and Doi Lo, Chiang Mai. It was known in the past as “Doi Luang” or “Doi Ang Ka”. The word “Doi Luang” refers to its mighty size, so people called it “Doi Luang” (meaning huge or large in the northern dialect). The journey to the top of Inthanon Peak with the distance about 106 km is a good paved road; nonetheless it is quite steep and slope. So, for anyone who travels by own car it is highly recommended that you need a good condition of the vehicle.

Also, there’s an accommodation operated by the National Park for the visitors, as well.  In addition, the space around the area of National Park Doi Inthanon consists of many waterfalls and nature trails that are worthwhile for you to check-in. For example, Mae Ya Waterfall, Mae Klang Waterfall, and Vajiratharn Waterfall. The exciting nature trails are Kew Mae Pan, Ang Ga, and Pha Dok Siew Waterfall nature trail.
